INCREASE YOUR INCOME.
Many farmers in our elate have In
recent yearn practically doubled the
Income of the fann by milking a doz
en or more cowg and marketing the
cream. The. w.parator la part of the
efinlprnent of every up-to-date farmer.
Bince the Introduction of alfalfa it has
been found that cowg ted on alfalfa
hay will give aa much milk in the win
ter if ninths aa when running on the
pant urea rn the summer. It ia com
mon to find farmer throughout the
eastern half of our state whotte month
ly incomes from cream run from $10
to I5(J. liy (he uae of the separator
the fresh, skimmed milk la available
for the pigs both young and old, which
Increases the thrift of these animal
wonderfully. Again, where cowg are
fed on alfalfa and milked in the win
ter, fresh, warm milk given to the
chickens has been productive of re
markable results. The farmers of
eastern Nebraska In many localities
market eggs throughout the winter
months at high prices and at great
profit, whereas before the introduc
tion of alfalfa and the separator such
a thing as the marketing of eggs from
the farms In January and February
was scarcely known. The calves can
bo raised cm skimmed milk, warm
and fresh from the separator, and
when a Hide oil cake Is mixed with
It the calves thrive practically as
well as when fed 0n the new milk
fresh from the cow. Care must be
taken, however, not to put too mnch
oil cake Into the skimmed milk, mere-

NORTH NO HUMERUS,
North Bnd, liod.a Co., Nebr.
Are you going to sow a few urrcn
of alfalfa this spring? If not, why
noir it is the most profitable use to
which the land can be put. Every
farni'-r should have at leaat 1 1T arras
of alfalfa, and If fanning on a large
scaie, miriy or forty acres would be
the proper amount. Alfalfa vlM
from four to six tons of the most nu-
trl'iou hay that can be raised. It
win yiclfl HOUM- the amount that wrt
clover will, and its feeding qualities
exe-d that of red clover at least thir
ty per cent. Alfalfa la more tniW
cured than red cjover and does not
neat ani Slacken in the slack. Even
though the seed be hitrh farms rs ran
not afford to delay seeding down a
few acres to this valuable grass on
mat account. To do without thi
premier forage crop is far more ex
pensive than nay nt the nrice askl
for the tfA.
Those contemplating sowing alfalfa
mis spring snouid plow the ground
intended for this purpose as soon &g
the frost is out, and plow It as deeply
as possible. Next the ground should
be harrowed three or four times In
order to pack tne soil as cioaly as
possible and free t he surface from
lumps. The plot should now be let
stand until about Mav 10. whn all
danger of freezing will have passed.
The plot should then tie disked thor
oughly to destroy all WMflfl thaf vnao
have sprouted and then harrowed sev
eral times to make a seed bed that
will be firm and mellow.
Is then ready for the seed.
it will be found economical in the
end to sow not less than twenty
pounds of soed to the acre aa tl.ls
amount, if the sel be
ally insures a rood stand Tho akn

shine or It will not thrive. Therefore
It Is not advisable to sow it with any
uuibb crop no matter now thinly the
nurse crop may be sown. It wll be
found necessary to mow the weeds

during the first season, otherwise the
weeds and grasses will smother the
yng airaira plant. The young alfalfa
plant will not fight Its way the first
year against weeds and grasses, and
If care he not taken to keep the weeds
and grasses cut down during the first
season a good stand of alfalfa cannot
be expected. After the first year no
!C0,,,,1,. wiU be ePerienced because
the alfalfa will start earlier in the
piuiK man me other weeds and grass
es, and being a rapid grower, will com
pletely shade the ground so that the
others will not cause any further
trouble. Alfalfa should never be sown
on ground where the water will stand
niuM- i.euvy rains, rolling ground, or
at least ground sloping Biifflelently to
shed water Is only fit for alfalfa.
